[Multidrug chemotherapy of osteogenic sarcoma (author's transl)]
Abstract
Osteogenic sarcoma may be treated effectively by radical surgical removal of the primary tumor and combined chemotherapy, including Adriamycin and high dose Methotrexate. In order to render any protocol a safe procedure, strict precautions are required to avoid drug toxicity. We present a protocol, "COSS 77", presently employed in several university hospitals of West Germany and Austria. Final results concerning long term prognosis and long term side effects are not yet available.
